Excellent, if you haven't seen it, get it. - By: Allan Broadfield, 10 Aug 2008 
This is a truly excellent film, unlike the lammentable so callled remake 'The money pit', it has a very well observed & funny script, style, pace, characterization, & Cary Grant, of course. This film seems to have been ignored of late so count it as a lost classic & find it if you haven't already seen it.
Fantasic - By: ray dorrity, 04 Oct 2007 Cary Grant at his best as a Manhatten advertising executive who moves from a cramped NY apartment to a huge wreck of a house in Connecticut.
Everything goes wrong, everything goes overbudget & he suspect his wife is having an affair with his best friend/lawyer.
For me, the funniest scene is where the Yankee well digger callls when the house is completed & Grant thinks he is going to ask for more money. Grant's face is a picture when the Yankee solemnly gives him back $5.17 because he's overcharged him!
A "must have" movie for your collection.
Buy & enjoy
Cary Grant at his best - By: Film Fanatic, 10 Mar 2007 If, like me you are a fan of the old black & white comedy films of the 40's & 50's you'll love this. The plot centres on Mr & Mrs Blandings who live in a cramped New York apartment & decide to buy a house in the country (Connecticut). The house turns out to uninhabitable & so is torn down to make way for a new one. As you might guess, the build does not go smoothly. Anything that can go wrong does go wrong. It's a typical role for Cary Grant, & Myrna Loy is excellent as his long suffering wife. The plot may be predictable, but is non the less funny. The quality of the DVD is also excellent for such an old film.
